Ellen Rixford - Automata and Puppets

At present, I am working on a comprehensive book on mechanical movement for automata (mechanical figures) and puppets. The working title is Figures in the Fourth Dimension, and it will offer a large variety of work, from the simple to the complex. It will be about 400 pages, all in color, hardbound, an art book which should also serve as a technical manual. It will begin with an extensive chapter on the basics, then continue with work from over 35 world class artists from all over the planet, as well as significant work from three major museums. I welcome inquiries; my email is ellenrixford@netscape.net.
